“…Resilience planning incorporates this type of implementation and internal controls based on evaluation of risk (Matwyshyn, ). Risk management is also prevalent in hazards work and contingency planning for crisis and emergency management (Corvellec, ; Karagiannis, Piatyszek, & Flaus, ; Salter, ). Adaptive Capacity : The frameworks are meant to continually evolve based on feedback and updating. The risk management framework will allow for continual learning from experience as individual organizations implement the model and update their procedures.…”

Information systems are essential for crisis management; therefore, maintaining the security of those systems is important. Furthermore, during a crisis, privacy and personal integrity issues can sometimes be overlooked. Yet, both security and privacy are fundamental to the survival of a civilized and democratic society. If an information system's security plan also includes privacy considerations, then the resilience of the system can provide for the resilience of privacy. The problem is that privacy principles as they have traditionally been identified are not amenable to being incorporated into system design. This study discusses the NIST Privacy Framework, privacy engineering and its relevance to crisis planning and response.

“…Analysis of road networks has demonstrated that the vulnerability of a region is not only arbitrarily dictated by existing socioeconomic factors per se but also limited by the spatial organization of the transport system. This type of analysis has strengthened the perception that vulnerability is beyond the likelihood of loss; it also manifests in the geographic dimension that plays an integral role in connecting places [31]. Viewing the vulnerability of a region as the clearance time of evacuation is essentially important for a short-notice evacuation where the location or trajectory of a hazard is predictable and a degree of readiness is available [32].…”

Modeling Road Network Vulnerability for Evacuees and First Responders in No-Notice Evacuation

The concept of vulnerability has been employed to develop transport systems that sustain devastating disasters and ensure the efficient evacuation of neighborhoods. Existing studies of road network vulnerability overlook two important aspects of analysis: the no-notice evacuation and the different objectives of evacuees and first responders. First, a no-notice evacuation leaves limited time for proactive emergency planning; therefore, rescue strategies in this scenario rely heavily on real-time traffic information. Second, the goal of first responders in an evacuation is to move into an affected area immediately after a hazardous event unfolds, and the risk they face differs from that of evacuees. To this end, this paper develops a network-based model to evaluate vulnerability during a no-notice evacuation and applies it to a case study in Dublin, OH, USA. The model is suited to assessing network vulnerability in response to events with uncertainty and coordinating traffic control strategies in a no-notice evacuation. This study can become a valuable complement to the methodological conceptualization of vulnerability and can provide insights into developing comprehensive emergency management plans.

“…One of the major approaches of disaster risk reduction is through pragmatic disaster risk management planning (Salter, 1997;Christoplos et al, 2001). Disaster management and community planning via public participation have become top priority for the authorities, stakeholders and organizations in many countries all over the world such as in the USA (Pearce, 2003, Haimes, 2012, El Salvador (Bowman and White, 2012), Australia and New Zealand (Gero et al, 2011;Djalante, 2012;Becker et al, 2012Becker et al, , 2013 China (Ye et al, 2012, Shi et al, 2012 and Iran (Amini Hosseini et al, 2009).…”

Abstract. The region of the Sporades islands located in central Greece is at the mercy of many natural phenomena, such as earthquakes due to the marine volcano Psathoura and the rift of Anatolia, forest fires, floods, landslides, storms, hail, snowfall and frost. The present work aims at studying the perceptions and attitudes of the residents regarding how they face and manage natural disasters. A positive public response during a hazard crisis depends not only upon the availability and good management of a civil defense plan but also on the knowledge and perception of the possible hazards by the local population. It is important for the stakeholders to know what the citizens expect so that the necessary structures can be developed in the phase of preparation and organization. The residents were asked their opinion about what they think should be done by the stakeholders after a catastrophic natural disaster, particularly about the immediate response of stakeholders and their involvement and responsibilities at different, subsequent intervals of time following the disaster. The residents were also asked about the most common disasters that happen in their region and about the preparation activities of the stakeholders.
